中文摘要：

《法理学讲义》是亚当·斯密于1752—1764年在格拉斯哥大学担任道德哲学教授期间两个不同年份的随堂讲稿记录的汇编。按照今天的知识分类标准，授课内容涵盖了哲学、神学、法学、政治学和经济学等广泛内容。在这部巨著中，斯密将抽象的人性问题置于具体的历史发展进程当中予以研究，系统总结和评述了经由格老秀斯、普芬道夫、洛克并被休谟等苏格兰启蒙学者不断发展了的自然权利学说，由此创立了一种关于国家与社会的崭新理解范式。因此，更深入地研读《法理学讲义》无疑有助于抓住斯密法律思想的内核，了解其重要观点的由来。与此同时，该书还补充并夯实了《国富论》的有关论证，它让我们看到，斯密始终将其关于国民财富的性质和原因的研究置于社会和政治发展这一更为宽泛的理论框架之中。

英文摘要：

Lectures on Jurisprudence is lecture notes that include two separate lectures of Adam Smith as Professor of Moral Philosophy at the Glasgow University between 1752 and 1764. It covered the disciplines that we now recognize as philosophy, theology, law, politics and economics. In this master- piece, Smith puts the abstract human nature issue into the specific historical development process. He systematically summarized and reviewed the theory of natural rights which developed by Grotius, Pufen- dorf, Locke, Hume and other scholars of Scottish Enlightenment, thus opened up a new paradigm for understanding and thinking about the state and society. Therefore, more in--depth study on the Lectures on Jurisprudence will undoubtedly help us to get the core of Smith＇s legal thought and to understand the origin of his thought of natural rights. Meanwhile, this book also help us to complete and to reinforce many argumentations of The Wealth of Nations, because it allow us to see that Smith always put his in- quiry into the nature and causes by taking the wealth of nations as embededness in a wider theoretical framework about social and political development.
